As for my local elected officials passing laws to regulate exotic animal ownership and breeding... at best mine are ignorant and unwilling to be educated, at worst they associate snakes with the devil (Eve, apple, snake...). Stuck in between are animal control officers who can identify neglect in anything cute and furry, or with livestock, but who are woefully uneducated when it comes to anything with scales.
